New work coming soon! 

Even though I have not been posting onto the blog in quite a while, there has still been a lot going on around here.

I continue to hand engrave glass for 2 wonderful luxury home stores:

Gramercy in Atlanta (peachtree battle shopping)
Acorns on Church (highlands, nc)

For the past two years, I have been a full time contractor for a corporate graphic design MarCom department. It was great! But it took me away from my creative work and left me just enough time to handle special orders from my retail connections.
However, I am happy to announce that I have returned to the art and freelance design world and thankful to have more time to engrave, paint and create on a daily basis!

Here is a recent commission for a wedding gift

More to come soon!

Peachtree Road Holiday Artist Market

Yesterday morning was the first of two holiday artist markets at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market (St Philips).

It was a lot of fun and great to meet so many people. Hoping to see everyone at the Dec 17th market!

Thanks to all who came out - here is a photo of my table. The personalized ornaments were a hit. There is still time to order yours...turn around is about a week and half currently.

send me a note if you would like to order one.

This weekend is the Clairmont elementary school market place and I'll be there friday night and saturday. I will have the engraved glass and also some new jewelry pieces-come check it out!

Fallen: Pendant light made from recycled glass

The Decatur Gallery recently had a show in October called Fallen and here is my entry which hangs in the gallery window. Pendants have been on my radar for awhile and this was the perfect time to experiment. I used recycled glass from various projects and sanded, painted and carved various pieces to hang from metal rings. I love how this turned out (and sadly it is not easy to photograph...but this image gives a pretty good depiction).

I'm looking forward to experimenting more with this concept.

McG wine glass monograms

Here is a recent special order. I love how the little "c" turned out.

Decatur Market & Gallery

This weekend the Decatur Market and Gallery is having a reception and exhibit titled, "Fallen".

Many artists, myself included, will be bringing special pieces for this theme.

check it out if you are in the area!

There is something so refreshing about spending time at the beach. Before our trip, I engraved 4 tumblers to bring along and photograph while we were there. A starfish, sand dollar, sea horse and sea turtle make crisp clean images for a set of tumblers.

Galax, ferns and bird vases

I just finished 50 small oval vases for a client to give as event gifts. Because they could not choose just one design, we split up the order using three designs: the ever popular love birds, fern branch and a new design, a galax leaf. I love the solid effect of the galax and already have plans to incorporate it into another vase. Even though there are multiples of these designs, each vase is truly unique. No two can be alike since all engraving is done by hand. (and I tend to freehand these designs as well) Take a look and check back for more new items soon.
